"Thank you."
As Lucas was used to having people serve him, he did not refuse Marianne's help.
She helped him to the bed, lay him down and tucked him under the blankets. Touching his forehead, she exclaimed, "It's so hot! Lucas, I think that you're having a fever again."
"Really?" Lucas touched his own forehead. "I don't think so."
"What do you mean? Touch me." Marianne grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek. "See, my body temperature is lower than yours."
Stunned, Lucas quickly withdrew his hand. "I'm alright. I'll be fine tomorrow after taking Dr. Feroma's medicine. You should go back and rest."
"Wait! Lisa and the rest went to bring some candies for you. I'll leave after you eat them."
When Marianne bent down to adjust Lucas' blanket, her huge and perky breasts swayed, almost touching his face.
Lucas immediately blushed. Turning his head to the side, he said nervously, "Go and rest, Marianne. I don't want any candies."
"Lucas, don't you hate bitter food?" said Marianne with a sickenly sweet voice. "Since the herbal concoction is so bitter, how can you endure taking it without eating any candies?"
"I'm really fine…"
Lucas closed his eyes, not daring to look at her.
He was raised strictly since young and was very single-minded about relationships. As a result, he only liked Carla and had never gotten a girlfriend in the past few years.
Carla always refused to have any intimate interactions with him, but he was still a young, healthy man. When faced with such seductions, his body instinctively got tempted.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Marianne turned the lights off and was about to leave when someone knocked on the door. "Marianne, I'm here with the candies."
She quickly opened the door and took the candies. "Go and rest. I'll pass the candies to Lucas before going back."
"Okay. Thank you, Marianne." The two maids left soon.
After closing the door, Marianne walked to the bed, unwrapped the candies and placed it against Lucas' lips. "Have a candy, Lucas!"
"There's no need for that, Marianne…"
Before he could finish his sentence, she shoved the candy into his mouth and caressed his lips gently with her finger. She said gently, "It'll not be bitter after you eat the candy. Sleep early, okay? Goodnight."
She turned around and left afterward.
Watching her retreating figure, Lucas was stunned for a long time before he returned to his senses. The candy almost got stuck in his throat, but he reacted quickly and coughed it out.
Marianne's romantic actions earlier kept replaying in his mind, causing him to feel flustered.
He flipped the blanket away and glanced down at himself. I actually…
His feelings of guilt intensified.
He kept scolding himself for harboring such indecent thoughts toward another woman. Since he loved Carla, he should only feel such emotions toward her.
Meanwhile, Carla was leaning against the tub with her eyes closed, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
She was drenched in the rain and caught a little chill. However, after two years of physical training, her health had improved greatly and she did not get a cold.
Still, to avoid getting sick, she added some herbal concoctions in the bathtub.
Steam encircled the room while the smell of the herbal concoction wafted in the air.
Carla started to feel sleepy. At that moment, her phone suddenly rang, jolting her awake. Frowning, she grabbed her phone.
When she saw the call, she could not help but be stunned. After some hesitation, she accepted it. "Hello?"
The person on the call remained silent, but she could hear his faint breathing.
"I'm hanging up if you don't speak!" Carla prepared to end the call.
"Carla!"
A familiar and deep voice, mixed with a hint of weakness and hoarseness, sounded.
Carla's heart skipped a beat as a feeling of unease washed over her. "What happened to you?"
"Remember that you're mine!" said Zayn over the phone.
Although he sounded weak, it was nonetheless a declaration of his dominance.
"Wait for me…"
After saying those three words, he ended the call.
